Beach huts at the ready..

Happy Weekend Bloggers,, Well I thought I would start the day off with my card for some Summer challenges with these super beach huts . Then I got up and saw the day and thought to myself, it not a good beach day at all, the huts might be very useful to keep warm in though....lol You may know that I live at the seaside, its approx 10mins walk from my house to the beach, not that I spend a lot of time on it apart from walking along it to the next cove...not a great lover of sand in my toes...lol Thats an age thing i guess, as a kid I would have loved it.  Well this is what I came up with for the challenge, the Candy stripe paper reminded me of Deckchairs and candy floss. The image is one that I won from Delicious Doodles and I love it. I am quite short of this type of image so it was quite refreshing to colour something so different.
I hope to get back to crafting later today but first I need to slip to town and get last minute things for our family wedding on Monday. I have decided a new bag is needed and I just haven't been able to find what I want. Its very late to get one now, but I will have yet another look  otherwise its one I have tucked away. Hubby is at my sisters today with Grandson doing a little job for her so I will hopefully get to play as soon as I get back...yippee!
Catch you all later, be good and have a good day whatever you are up to.
